Christmas Echoes.

The Christmas tide, bringing JOY and
happiness to the children and echoing
the message of peace on earth, good
will to men," to all, was begun at the
close of school last Friday night, when
the teachers in the primary departments
of the public school remembered the
little ones in their charge with such pres
ents as will be most appreciated by the
youthful mind. Such conduct on the
part of the teachers cannot be too
highly commended, though the instruct
ors may find the greatest qualification
in the assured fact that the impression
on the mind of the pupil is ineffaceable
md the child's thoughts and recollec-
fion of such teachers will ever remain
TO soften judgment of mankind.
The scenes at the churches were bril-
liant, the joy-illumined faces of the
little ones of the Sunday schools being
sufficient recompense for the labor and
time expended in the preparation. A
tree at the NJ. +. church was loaded
with the fruit of good will, and upon
its branches something was found fol
all. The church was neatly decor ated
land Illuminated. At the Presbyterian
church an outline star was erected,
likewise shining with gifts. A gilded
star at the top and a bead basket pend
ant, all brilliant under the glare of wax
candles, made an enhancing scene.
At the conclusion of the presenta-
lions at the Presbyterian church, an
easy chair was presented to Rev. Dick
inson and wife. by the members IT the
school, which was acknowledged In, d
graceful speech.
There were many family gatherings,
where preparation was but little less
pretentious, but the university of
yedestrians that thronged the thorough
fares on the eventful evening, loaded
with surprises both great and small,
advised us to forego personal mention.

The Coal Monopoly.

The whole country, independent of
locality, is now feeling the effects of
the controlling monopoly on coal. Set
tiers in new countries are deprived of
fuel, while in all localities it is scarce
with rising tendency in price. This
condition is attributed to scarcity of
cars for shipment, striking miners and
every conceivable excuse to remove
responsibility from mine operators. But
the people upon whom the burden of
deprivation falls are 10th to accept such
alleged facts as truths, and believing
it is brought about by concerted action
OF the operators who form their pools,
composing one of the greatest monop-
olies expressing the people. The pres
ent scarcity is the result Of restricted
shipment for the purpose of another
advance on the already burdensOme
price. This condition of affairs would
serve as lit subject for investigation
by congress, and if the pools be found
to exist and operate according to pre-
vailing impression, laws appropriate to
their case should be enacted. 1t is in
reality subject Of much greater inter
est to the pocket book of consumers
than large portion OF the questions
that have the attention of congress TO-
day. The mOnOpolies are beyond the
reach Of the common people, and their
delegated authority should apply the
proper remedy to this CALLING evil.

Union Meetings.

The meetings now being held under
the auspices of the several churches
have been continued through the holi-
day week, and an increasing interest is
manifest. The labors of the pastors
have been rewarded by number Of
persons having expressed a desire to
know more of the preached truths,
while others have proclaimed their
faith
One Of the largest religious meetings
held in Audubon for many days was
that in the court house last Sunday
evening, when Rev. f. Dickinson de-
livered very forcible and impressive
sermon from the text: The wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eter-
nal life The speaker was earnest in
his discourse, and presented the truths
of his text in an uncoatrovertible light
The coming week, the first Of the new
year and observed as the week of prayer
throughout the Christian world, will
witness no cessation in the work here,
bat OH the contrary it is hoped that it
may inspire yet greater interest.

The Lesson Of the Season.

The day of the celebration of the adj
vent of the new year will have passed
before another issue of THE REPUBLI
CAN, and correspondents will be strug-
Cling with the novelty of three figures
eight in the date line. The incontro-
yertible evidence of the sun and the al
manac alone overcome the surprise
that the old year has passed so quickly.
Objects to which ambition aspired, are
only partially attained and it would
seem that Father Time is harvesting
nnripened grain, running ahead of the
schedule or tinkering the ehrOpometer.
1t is the season when the Past, Present
and Future crowd upon the mind.
There are days eventful in individual
life that more particularly mark the
epochs in private history, but none that
80 forcibly denote the progress of time
In the business and moral world. The
impulses prompted by reflection are
for fine bettermcnt and ennoblement
of the race. Ambition ever aspires to
improvement, and with the new year
comes determination Of purpose to
work out better results OF thought and
labor. 1t is the lesson of the season,
and Who fails to appropriate its teach
ings is unapprceiative of the truth that
life is what we make 1t.

Wide Awake 1883.

The readers of this wondered maya
zine for young people are so accustomed
to good reading and pictures that they
will wonder how it is going to be better
than ever this coming year. But 1t is.
The new year has already begun with
the holiday number just out-a truly
great number, larger and richer more
varied, and therefore it must be better
than ever before. And the publishers
have primer to send to those who
want to know what Wide A,Ddke is 60
ing to have in it in 1888.
The wonder Is that such q library and
picture gallery can be got together for
$40 year a thousand pages and ev-
erything fresh and new-stories, history
travels, biography, sketches, anecdote,
adventure and all instructive rs well
as entertaining. Two worlds are drawn
from to make such provision for the ed
ucation and pleasure Of our children.

Sharp Beset BY Sharpers.

When Joel Sharp was in Chicago
with cattle week before last he met
with an experience that is becoming too
common with those who 60 to that
market. He had completed his bust
ness aud boarded the Rock Island train
which was leaving the city on slow
time, when two neatly attired men, as,
Stunning the airs of railroad employees
came into the car in which he, with
four companions, was seated, and told
them that they must go into the next
car as the one they occupied would be
switched onto another train at the next
station. The travellers complied with
the request, and when Mr.. Sharp was
on the platform carrying his overcoat
and arctics, he found himself hedged
in by four strangers, one OF whom pre-
tended to be working with the bell rope.
Another was ranSacking his hip
pockets but he was unable to step
either way. He comprehended the sit
urtion instantly, and hauling back dealt
the man in front of him a sullivan blow
on the breast which sent him head fore
most off the platform. Reciting the
occurrence, Mr.. Sharp says that he was
little excited, and doesn't know how
hard he did strike though be probably
gave the best he had in the shop; all of
which will be readily believed when it
is known that the man he struck was
larger than himself. His way being
clear, Mr.. Sharp opened the car door
and called for help, but when help Ar
rived the sharpers had left the train
and were safe in the darkness. The
drover had taken common sense pre-
caution after receiving money for his
stock, and 80 had only sufficient money
to defray expenses on hia person, and
that was in pocket not searched by
the attacking party. The encounter
ended very luckily for our friend, and
the instance will only serve to warn
others and instruct them in the very
common ways feotpads employ to &C
complish their designs.

THE management of our state print
ing Office is just now the subject Of
some unfavorable criticism. Governor
Larrabee it is reported, is looking into
the matter, and there is no doubt but
that he will find the dishonesty if there
has been any practiced by state Printer
Roberts. The matter Of the election of
a state printer by the Legislature being
before the people now, may have some
thing to do with the origin Of these
charges. But be that as it may, if the
state printing is not properly and eco
nomically managed now, under State
Printer Roberts and his deputy, Col.
Rowen, then most assuredly Col. Row
en-, the deputy, should not be elected to
succeed him. This certainly is an inn
portant point for the consideration of
the members, and until Governor Lar
rabee makes his report the canvass for
the state Partnership should rest.-Stu-

tree was not an evergreen but an apple
green, one of Cameron's choicest pro-

a little doll for Miss Mary Moore, a tin
